Albert Burney Auction Company won all three awards for multi-color real estate auction brochures in the recent National Auctioneers Association competition.

GADSDEN, Ala. (May 28, 2009) – The company, which auctions high-end real estate nationwide, won the national association’s top prize for Auction Printed Materials, Multi-Color in all three real estate categories: Commercial Real Estate, Farm Real Estate and Residential Real Estate.

Albert Burney was the only Alabama auction company to win awards in the competition. The competition for the residential and farm auction categories was especially intense, according to Chris Longly, deputy executive director of the NAA. "The residential and farm real estate auction printed material categories were the most competitive this year, with more entries than any of the other 100 categories," said Longly. “Well-designed, effective marketing materials are critical when you’re selling high-end real estate. We take a lot of pride in our marketing materials across the board, and I believe these awards reflect that. Our designer, Malcolm Howard, not only did an excellent job with the designs, but also provided the photography,” said Warren Ward, president of Albert Burney.
